Shhh, don't tell anyone that Appleton is really a fictional town. I was actually visiting Ripley, West Virginia. When I arrived, It seemed so familiar, and I said to myself, "This is Appleton!" I could actually see the red roof of the Dairy Queen from the house I was staying in. (I looked online to compare Ripley and Appleton, and found out that there really was no Appleton.) I got very motivated and started snapping away. The more I traveled and explored, the more I felt like I was in Appleton, Indiana. And the topper was that the big park still had the Christmas decorations up! It's fun that I got to create my own Appleton based on my travels.

Love the landscapes (and cute kids!) It's easy to see how the Broadway set of Appletonn with the telephone wires came to be. "A school, a tree, a couple of churches, and no matter how hard anybody searches..." Maybe not NYC, but thrilling and pretty in it's own way. Thanks for the legwork Bell Family! :) cj
